On the first day of Hogswatch, your Seanan gave away...

...two copies of The Winter Long!

Welcome to the first of the Twelve Days of Hogswatch. I will be starting a new giveaway every day between now and December 25th (some other winter holiday). Each giveaway will have different rules, and a different deadline, although all prizes will be mailed on December 29th, because I am bad at going to the post office (and also, still mailing shirts).

The first giveaway is for two copies of The Winter Long, the eighth October Daye adventure. This is going to be a random number drawing, because I am sleepy. So...

1. To enter, comment on this post.
2. If you are international, indicate both this and your willingness to pay postage.
3. That's it.

I will choose the winners at 1PM PST on Monday, December 15th.

Game on!

ETA: Multiple people have commented indicating that they'd like to start this series. Please, please do not begin this series with book eight. I know free stuff is awesome, and of course you can win without having read the first seven, but seriously, this book will not be half as good if you have no idea what's going on.

I'd love to get a copy!

Comment: I'm a little [okay, a LOT] OCD in many annoying ways. One of the ways it applies to reading is that - if I find out about a series and want to read it - I -need- to start with the 1st book in said series and then read the books in order. [Specifically in the order they were published.]

For a very few series [like Brust's Jhereg series] - the books are published in one order and take place in a somewhat different, chronological order. A friend argued with me once that I should read them chronologically and I ... tried. I really did try, but it just didn't work for me and this was -after- I'd read the series through several times.

1. Riding squid, while quite versatile, have never become particularly common as a smooth ride requires either an exceptionally trained squid, or a an exceptionally trained rider.
2. U.S. Postal address available.
3. There is no rule 6.

I have not yet had the chance to pick this one up; this would be one way to fill in my collection. ;-)

To sit in solemn silence in a dull dark dock
In a pestilential prison with a life long lock
Awaiting the sensation of a short sharp shock
From a cheap and chippy chopped on a big black block

I never know what to say in these.

I would LOVE a copy of The Winter Long! I am all caught up in the series and have been waiting to read it until the semester ends (busy and broke grad student). Thanks for sharing the love :)
